The new Broadway Reach ticket deal is simple: One ticket gets you into six attractions located on or near Broadway.

The offer, which goes into effect June 1, will cost $44 for adults and $22 for children (12 and younger). That will include admission to the Witte Museum, the McNay Art Museum, the San Antonio Botanical Garden, the San Antonio Museum of Art and the San Antonio Zoo. The San Antonio Children's Museum is also in the mix, coming on board in advance of its planned 2015 move to a new home on Broadway.

Purchased separately, regular admission to all of those cultural institutions runs $63 for adults and $46.50 for children.

The ticket does come with a deadline: It must be used within seven days of the first use.

“The first time it's used, the clock begins, said Bob Brackman, executive director of the San Antonio Botanical Garden. “So you can buy it as a gift. We think seven days is a reasonable time frame to enjoy all of the facilities.”

The deal was created partly with tourists in mind, but it's also aimed at locals, said Marise McDermott, president and CEO of the Witte.

“What we wanted to do is make it affordable and convenient for our residents here in San Antonio to experience all the wonderful cultural organizations on the Broadway Reach,” McDermott said. “We wanted to make sure, if you come to see one or two (attractions), you could come to see another two and make it a cultural staycation, almost.”
